This made me laugh: USGS scientist Lucy Jones' advice for Friday night: “Don’t put your child to bed under a tall bookcase that could fall over him tonight."

Anchoring your bookshelves to the wall so they don't fall over is a good way to prevent accidents.
I bought an a-frame bookcase and it came with a wall anchor kit.

Can you tell that I've only lived in earthquake country for 8 years? :)
Experiencing tornadoes and floods never rattled my nerves like earthquakes do.
